The battle is for a city. The war is for history. In autumn 2016,
Iraqi forces began operations to recapture Mosul from the Islamic
State. Millennia-old, Mosul was a birthplace of Western culture but
also infamous for its cruelty, from the Assyrians to Saddam
Hussein. Through the eyes of soldiers and families and jihadis,
award-winning reporter James Verini chronicles the combat that
followed. Among the most devastating urban conflicts since World
War II, the battle for Mosul was both archaic and modern. Troops
and jihadis fought house by house, block by block, matching bullet
for bullet, while co-ordinating their movements on WhatsApp and
uploading execution videos. Verini describes how this viciously
contested patch of earth came to represent a war for the soul of a
country, for its history and its future.
